This Rawsome Vegan Life

Emily von Euw of This Rawsome Vegan Life posts the kind of recipes that are so beautiful you almost hesitate to eat them. But the power of hunger compels you — and they taste even more beautiful.

In addition to all of the scrumptious vegan treats they share, we love Em because they are ethically sound and strive to be as intersectional and inclusive as possible in everything they do — including relaying how their privilege shapes their vegan experiences.

Deliciously Ella

For the eponymous blogger behind Deliciously Ella, a plant-based diet wasn’t just a fad to follow — it was a lifesaver. After being diagnosed with Postural Tachycardia Syndrome and seeing little success with traditional medicine, Ella Mills turned to a vegan lifestyle in an attempt to manage her condition.

Not only did the lifestyle transform her health, it also transformed her life as a whole. Her recipes have made her a bestselling cookbook author, restaurant owner and food products entrepreneur.
